My cat sleep in the sink too! This is Tux =) Tux and Munchkin sleeping like twins Munchkin sleeping Another of Tux's favorite hiding spots This is how you will find him sleeping .05% of the time. The other 99.95% of the time he is in the sink. "HEY MOM LOOK AT MEEEE, I'm on your clean laundries getting it all furry!"

omg!! love these pics, we have 4 cats, an Egyptian Mau, A tuxedo Munchkin( most dont know what that is,lol), an Orange Tabby, and a tiny Muted Calico. I need to post thier pics here (when I figure it out) lol

I am so jealous Abbi! I have wanted an Egyptian Mau foreverrrr but my husband can't see allowing me to spend that much money on a cat. I got both of mine for free. Rescue them from a friends house so she wouldn't have to send them to the shelter!

So I had this cat for 23 years .. he was my joy because of his uniqueness. He didn't meow .. he went GEOW very very loudly! (kinda like that bird on the old time video game joust when it would charge). If you faked like you were asleep he would just kinda stare at you if you could see throught the slit of your eyelids, but if he knew you were faking he would go right up to your ear and go GEOW. So then later it became a game, when he was asleep I would sneak up to him and go GEOW!!!! in his ear. It really stunk, when later he became deaf and we couldn't play our game .. well I couldnt, it had no effect but he still woke my butt up!. He came to me as a stray kitten in my mom's neighborhood, and I had my first apartment with no roommates and said I would take him in and stuff. So my mom packed him in her car, (no cat carrier back then) and was bringing him to me ... well she stopped at the post office and ... you guessed it, cat went out of car unbeknwonst to her. So back in the car we got to search the woods around the post office located off an 4-6 lane highway at the time (Dale Maybry for you tampa folks-very scary, 8 major lanes now with turn ones too!). We searched for about an hour for this cat with no name, no real ties to either of us, and to no avail. My mother said, 'Let me just ask the postal workers', and proceeded inside. A kind lady goes yeah this cat just walked in and sat down, we figured he was waiting in line with someone. Low and behold there was my Talon, just waiting for someone to claim him like a parcel. For so many years everyday when I came home from work or whatever he would just talk and talk and talk and tell me about his day or let me know if he thought his litter box was not pristine. When gaming he would let me know when it was his time, even with bad hips, by trying to stand by my pc chair with his paws on my thigh and say .. Mommy love on me. Its been a bit over a year since I lost him, but there are times when I hear his GEOW even now. 23 years is a long time, I only wish it had been 46 years for this particular cat. For the last about 13 years of his life he had become allergic to something in the air in about march - april of each year where he scratched uncontrollably. While those elizabethan collars for dogs could work they are so ugly. A friend is really good with leather work and measured Talon, and made basically kick butt kitty armor to stop his scratching, and to work in conjunction with pills from the vet. So while in rift we have these warcats .. I think I have the first IRL cat with armor! Unfortunately I have no digital pics of Talon in his Kitty armor which is around here somewhere. But it was dyed, embosssed aka stamped etc with beautiful scrolling. He had pretty kitty armor lol. This picture is him with a smallville shot of the bar/place called the Talon .. his name was taken from a D&D (dice) companion a good friend of mine had and far preceeds smalleville. I sure do miss him and all the fun we had together.

Here's what happens at our house every morning when the sun shines through the skylight in our bathroom... And what happens when a small bird lands in the bushes outside the kitchen window...

Just kidding ;)

My kitties. Kaylee, the most awesome Siamese ever. I almost hit her with my car in the parking lot of an apartment I used to live in. She was 7 weeks old, skin and bones, and the first thing she did when I grabbed her was bite my thumb almost to the bone. She's now the most affectionate cat I've ever had, some of which I vainly attribute to me saving her from a life on the street. Spooky, the craziest cat I've ever owned. I got him while working at the local Humane Society. He was an adorable kitten that begged for my attention all the time and I couldn't help but love him. Once I got him home, he was suddenly the noisiest most violent kitten I'd ever seen. He's so fluffy that I just can't hate him though.

Omg cat wig, what some men would trade a comb over for in that cat. My Ripley was a street kitty and was skin and bones too (and pregnant bah) I found out when I adopted her she is now over 20 pounds now and if I eat by her she tries to take the food from my hand .. she is all about her paws and grabbing! She goes to her food bowl and scoops food out with her paw. Strange cat, but life on the streets I think she is checking it for bugs before eating even now what 12 years since I have had her heh.
